The staff at the Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland, OR knows what to do when it comes to dancing and to promoting breast cancer awareness. Medline Industries recently came out with a new style of latex-free gloves in pink, and said they would donate a portion of the proceeds to fund mammograms, to help spread awareness. The doctors, nurses, patients, cafeteria crew, janitors, technicians and business folk at St. Vincent took it one step further and created this video to help spread the word. 

 The video has been out for about 2 weeks and has over 1.7 million views on YouTube. Think about giving the folks at your company the opportunity to do something fun for a good cause and who knows what can happen.

For what it's worth, those pink gloves are latex-free. Those of us with latex allergies tend to freak out about latex :)

This truly is a great video! It really sends a message when an entire organization can do something so fun. Especially in an industry as serious as the medical field. I just checked on Youtube, this video is now over 6,000,000 views! Thanks for sharing!
